Fish Camp!

We are having a wonderful first week of Fish Camp! We have already learned many things about fish. We have studied fish anatomy and learned about a fish's different fins. We have also studied fish habitats and life cycles. On Tuesday, we had two special visitors come to school. Heather and Julie work for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and they taught us about the native fish of Utah. They also showed us the equipment they use and played a habitat game with us. All of the kids have been very busy during center time. They have done several art projects, played games, gone on a fish scavenger hunt, written stories, and read books in the library. They especially love our class pets this week... a red male Beta fish, a blue male Beta fish, and two fancy goldfish.
